Friday the 13th: The Game just released a video with gameplay, a look at the characters you can play as, and the final release date for the title. The third-person horror survival game will drop on May 26, 2017. In the game, you can play as a teen counselor, or, for the first time ever, horror villain icon Jason Voorhees. According to the game’s official website, “You and six other unlucky souls will do everything possible to escape and survive while the most well-known killer in the world tracks you down and brutally slaughters you.”

The game from Gun Media and IllFonic allows you to stalk your prey as Jason Voorhees and gameplay will “include a variety of kills, new and familiar. You’ll even get to unlock various Jason incarnations from the movies as well as two entirely new designs never before seen.” You can see some if the designs in the video, which you can watch in the player below.

Multiplayer gameplay is the main type here. The site says, “The entire focus of Friday the 13th: The Game is multiplayer. Survival is entirely up to you as you either stealthily hide from Jason or work together as a team to escape. Think you can take Jason on? You and the other counselors will have that chance as well. Be warned though, nothing is ever certain and no one is ever safe!”

Friday the 13th: The Game will launch for Xbox One, PS4 and Stream as a digital download for $40USD.
